I was configuring one of our clients farm which required FBA on different web applications (around 5) and he wanted each web application should have separate user store. That was too tricky since you just need to set up Application property of the membership provider and you are done.
After completion of these settings, all of my applications were having a common exception either in log out or login to the web application. Here was the exception.

Update - 5/19/2014

In Central Administration, Application Management - select web application and in user policy, for the specific zone where you have problem (or default zone) try to remove and add all authenticated users and all fba users full read and make sure none of the AD users are showing in Domain\username format.

The same error also encountered again reported by client when he tries to enable intranet through internet explorer settings. Disabling detection of intranet from internet options solves that issue but you are forced to enter username password every first visit of the site even in intranet as well!

I am facing exactly the same problem with my sharepoint 2013 server , I have configured fba and I am using sharepoint fba pack 2013 for managing authentication and authorization , but can you please help me out how can i fix this bug !! because the fba pack is not using user creating wizard there is a "userCreatepage" that handles this task , thanks !!!

It tried many solutions at various places and finally got it working while re-applying all the user permissions which are domain-controller\username with i:0#.f|providerName|loginname kind of string. Started it from Central Admin, web application permissions.
